Novato, CA, June 25, 2024 –Together, the solar photovoltaic systems at Cal-West’s San Rafael and Petaluma sites are expected to generate nearly 60,000 kWh per year. This will offset approximately 90% of Cal-West’s electricity usage from the utilities, replacing it with clean, sustainable solar energy.
The newly installed solar panels are expected to offset 42 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) every year. This is equivalent to removing over 107,000 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle, saving 97 barrels of oil, or the carbon sequestered by 49 acres of trees in one year.
The owners of Cal-West Rentals display their commitment to sustainability with strategic solar energy investments. They began with their sister company, Encore Events Rentals, and now have solar installations at three locations, all by SolarCraft. By prioritizing renewable energy, Cal-West not only reduces its carbon footprint but also exemplifies responsible business practices, setting a high standard for environmental stewardship in the industry.
